oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #2 – January 06, 2010, 06:16:04 PM I know those are not fun temps for you guys, but today is the first day in several that we have made it above zero and I have to tell you, single digits felt like summertime! Better check with HAVI too, I bet it's been a blast (pun intended) there. Quote Selected

oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #4 – January 06, 2010, 06:42:42 PM I've been working in this all week! 8 hours in -15 to -30 degree windchills is pretty common place for me right now. Key thing to remember is LAYERS, and hand warmers help. I need a decent pair of boots since I am still wearing my mesh cross trainers and boy do my toes get cold!! Quote Selected

oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #6 – January 07, 2010, 02:29:41 AM I'll gladly take a goded foot of snow over 15 below zero.When I got off work tonight, I didn't even bother brooming off the car, I just carried a piece of cardboard out with me and used it for a big blade and pushed the snow off...wish I'd taken some high topped boots...some of it got in my shoes. We've got the better part of 5 inches here, but I'm gonna hate the wind tomorrow. Drifts everywhere I'm sure. Quote Selected

oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #9 – January 07, 2010, 01:23:42 PM Well, the wind is gusting up to 40, there's a drift as tall as the tires on a truck I'm storing...it hasn't been this bad since '96 lol. Quote Selected

It's actually been warmer in WI thus far in 2010 than down here in KS! Makes me want to move back! Right about now, I sure wish I hadn't sold my slowblower and brought it down here...shoveling 2' drifts in 15-20 mph winds @5^F isn't much fun Quote Selected
oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #11 – January 07, 2010, 02:50:35 PM It sounds like most places are getting hit. Even the growers in FL are trying not to get frozen out. The problem with that is it means our fruit prices are going up, again.... Quote Selected
oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #12 – January 07, 2010, 04:39:53 PM This winter has been something, huh? Our temperatures up here are actually above normal, it's 30ish up here today, but we've been getting a lot more snow than usual. Good luck staying warm :p Quote Selected
oh boy. fun again, not. Reply #13 – January 07, 2010, 06:23:22 PM Been in the 30's all week here, apparently warmer than Florida. Strange winter: I live in the center of a province nearly completely surrounded by Atlantic Ocean. Most storms that come off Cape Hatteras skim by the province and dump snow where I live but rain on the coast (40 miles away). This year has been the opposite: The coastal areas, especially the southern ones, have been getting hammered by snow while my area gets the rain (Yarmouth, on the southern tip of the province, got nearly 3 feet of snow out of the last storm while we got less than 3", and further north and east got 100% rain). Guess this flip-flop is not just local, what with the above freezing temps here and below freezing in Florida... Quote Selected
